A friend of mine thought the publisher was Mountain High Maps ?? He also said
he thought its accuracy wasn't brilliant for all locations, but isn't sure if
it has been improved.
In terms of a end-user products, it might be worth a quick look at a package
called '3D Atlas' published by Electronic Arts. I've no idea if the
electronic data can be extracted from it but I suspect not easily as it uses
QuickTime files on the CD. Still fun though ;-).
